Molecular-weight scaling of an ideal-chain gyration radius

ID: molecular-weight-scaling-of-an-ideal-chain-gyration-radius

For a long ideal chain of independent statistical steps of length , . With fixed chain chemistry and , the molar mass is proportional to . Thus multiplying molar mass by multiplies the radius of gyration by ; solvent quality can change both the statistical segment length and the size exponent.
